Hello- Phimosis refers to the inability to retract the distal foreskin over the glans penis. Physiologic phimosis occurs naturally in newborn males. Pathologic phimosis defines an inability to retract the foreskin after it was previously retractible or after puberty, usually secondary to distal scarring of the foreskin. Paraphimosis is the entrapment of a retracted foreskin behind the coronal sulcus. Paraphimosis is a disease of uncircumcised or partially circumcised males. Paraphimosis is a emergency condition and must be dealt with immediate cure, as it can the distal portion of the penis can become ischemic and even necrotic and might even require a surgical excision of glans.
